UNIQLO to Open First Stores in Texas and Expand in California

UNIQLO will open over 20 new stores in the U.S. and Canada in 2024.

New York — UNIQLO will open its first stores in Texas in Houston and Dallas, and extend its West Coast presence, including new cities San Diego and Sacramento, Calif., this fall/winter. In total, the brand will open 11 new stores across Texas and California, a significant portion of the 20+ new store openings planned for North America in 2024. The upcoming openings will build on UNIQLO’s ambitious store growth plan to reach 200 stores in North America by 2027.

“We are thrilled to be coming to Texas,” says Yoshihide Shindo, UNIQLO USA CEO. “In addition to this incredibly momentous step for UNIQLO in the U.S. and for our business globally, we are also furthering our commitment to the West Coast. We have been listening to our customers in these regions.”
